MEMBER INFORMATION
All individuals who wish to pursue the tradition of
kendo are welcome at Sunrise Kendo Club. The best way
to get a sense
of
whether
Kendo
is for
you is to watch a class or, even better, to join in.
Feel free to drop by on one of our Open Practice days
(Mon. or Fri. at 7pm during the fall and winter and
Mon. or Thurs. at 7pm during the summer) and please
try to arrive before the start of class. If
you wish
to
participate
in part
of a class and you have no previous experience with
kendo, simply wear some light sports clothing (e.g.,
t-shirt and track pants). You will not need to bring
anything else. If,
however, you feel certain that you are ready to start
kendo, please go ahead and purchase in advance a shinai
(bamboo sword) and bokuto (wooden sword). A link to
our recommended local kendo supplier
can be found on this page.
Fees
One-time registration fee: $50
Monthly fee: $10
